WADING INTO SOCIAL MEDIA MENACE na Alaigbo, written by Mkpisi Ndi Egede.
As we move into 6th Sunday after Trinity in July,we have to look deeply into the monstrous invasion of Social Media by Gen Z,which turn same into Social MENACE,it turned benefits of social Media to acidic nuances.
Back in the Year 2000 when we debuted on Internet under the auction of NaijaNet and Yahoo groups services ,we stood our ground to balance the Messiahic domination of print media in Nigeria, where the West publish every derogation against Ndigbo and onye igbo with extremely Jaundiced mindsets.
If you do rejoinder or even right of reply to such fallacy ,it will be consigned into trash Bin by editors ,all editorials are masked mischief against people or South East and when Evil mount podium as usual in the Western part,they will cosmetically powder same to serve as painted Sepulchre,and in most cases they will turn the ills of the West to portray Igbo in bad light just as they turned Awolowo planned Coup of 1966 at Mapo Hall in Ibadan,which made Nigerian Army to found him guilty and sentence him to life for treasonable felony and consigned to Calabar prison .
So we used Social Media as medium to balance the customized lies ,which we succeeded and that was when we know that actual Nigerian population was over inflated in favor of the North and West and that of Ndigbo were reduced beyond belief , but in reality, Ndigbo out numbered all ethnical groups without jaundice.
Nobody can show me any town in Nigeria without Igbo union,not even in Africa and Europe. The population of Ndigbo are beyond comparison in Africa.
Today as we watch our children make mess of Journalism because they have Android phones and free Data ,it brought shame and depression to those who walked that path of balancing Injustice of the Press ,my heart bleed when I read some Igbo Chaps refer to General Emeka Ojukwu as War Lord,that word was what made me fought Western press to standstill in 2002 ,until they apologized and remove that derogatory word "War Lord",as Ojukwu wasn't a war Lord , because there was no war fought,as it was Genocidal outrage feasted on Biafra,though the name was after NIGERAINS under the command of British Empire invaded Alaigbo through Obolo Afor Nsukka,which was after they have confiscated all weaponry and or armament which was part of army formation in every Army Barrack,and the one in Enugwu were evacuated under the guise of Armament reshuffling,when they left only 130 Riffles which was at the hand of stationed soldiers on guard, thereafter they invaded Alaigbo with the determined forecast that they will capitulate Alaigbo within 48 hours as they called the invasion Police action,which was carried out by Well armed soldiers.
But , university students of UNN who wasn't engaged in Yahoo but engaged in serious future and survival,rose in unified resolution and fought back the invaders with matchet , catapult and Cudgels,as the determination were silently resolute,we survived.
Today in Alaigbo,the use of Social Media is filled with self aggrandizement.
Last month one Onuku reported sighting Army plane dropping supplies to Fulanis at Enugwu Ukwu,which the community leaders got him and ask him to show them the location as he said in the report that he was there live ,well he cried that it was a lie, but he set the panic Mode because he want Facebook likes and monitized reward ,imagine somebody with brain ,if you can use that and start hostility and blood letting because of misunderstanding,what will be his benefits?
One wrote so many disgusting things against the Family of Gov Soludo,as he was caught he said it's for likes and Facebook Money,this one is not just Stewpid but his brain is on steroid. He should be giving more stringent conditions to balance the damages.
A Woman whose Husband was slaughtered were engaging on Ai Video and moving to Podcast to start war with the husband family,as if the Children are not for the family, it's ridiculous and mischievous. Imagine how long it will take for the man to be buried and how the participation will be between the family and the wife.
She should have been mourning and allow natural sympathy to take over and Umunna will be begging that the deed is done,that the family can't close both the Death and the survived ,they will say na Ama agaghi echi.
Social Media has killed marriages ,as unmarried has turned selves to marriage advisers, they have turned Shameful Divorce into independent and struggling pathetic parents.
Social Media has reduced morality to ime competition of who is the highest Ikwurigba,as everything about relationship today is How much is he giving and how much is she bringing to the table?.
Even some Ikwurigba are now using Podcast Podium to escalate Stewpidity,if they understand the use of Podcast is to correct anomalies,call out straight lies .
But they seek likes and comments,so it can attract stipends.
We think that Mark of the Beast will be done Using Hammer or engraving machine to stamp it at our forehead ,well let me burst your bubble,Social Media has brought it to us and it all depends on how you make use of it or allow it to use you.
Every good articles or good morals doesn't have many likes or very insignificant likes ,but post Nude or misleading articles,it will land in millions,that's wages of Ina niyi !!.
Social Media should not be affliction but cures,a certain Politician made an intro and it said "Are we Cursed or we are the Curse?"
Having said the above,I conclude by saying Edecham for now..
Mazi Odera POg JP, Mkpisi Ndi Egede, Minority opinion writer na mpaghara anyi ,Dibia ónu ike adighi agbalu Ekperima afa ,Ógba Ntutukó ma obido Igba afa.
